Cabbies in the city have strongly opposed the No Honking Day drive, saying that taxi drivers are easy targets and the police are registering offences against them.

“Roads in Mumbai are congested and the public walks about carelessly on the roads. Footpaths have been leased to hawkers by the civic body and police. Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey should issue orders to the public not to cross the roads carelessly. He is only targeting innocent taxi drivers,” Mumbai Taximens’ Union General Secretary Anthony L Quadros said.
